Why the new Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) recommendations are not making it conditional to charge a suitable fee from NATO for use of Pakistani airspace? It must not be forgotten that NATO offered billions of dollars to Turkey, for allowing the use of its airspace during the Iraq war.
Have we also forgotten that America charged heavily from Pakistan (for the confiscated planes), for even the parking of our fully paid F16 fighter planes?
And today, after all our cooperation and sacrifices in the war on terror, for more than a decade, they have repaid our favours by bombing a Pakistani post and killing our more than two dozen soldiers. But still, we want them to use our airspace for free.
I earnestly hope and pray that our parliamentarians and politicians stand up and show their guts to forcefully put the above mentioned demand in the PCNS recommendations.
